I really didn't think it was all that bad. The old coke is fine, and I would not get rid of it, but I wish they had kept the new coke around longer. As I remember, it was phased out in the early '90's.

upgrade from the original, original coke was just so seepd into our history it's immortal, if they had just sold both we'd probably still have it around today, i miss 4 things (2 of them toy tie ins, so sue me) #1&2 super mario chocolate bars and sodas #3 Crystal pepsi and #4 the really good cracker jack prizes

Best stuff, ever. Can't understand why they took it off the market, it was very popular. Well, who knows, maybe they brought it back. Haven't been by their counters in years and won't be any time soon.

just a touch of moisturizer, no greesy feeling and not drying either. Good light natural coverage. It also came in good shades for my skin. All the Revlon makeup they make now is too yellow for me and the new kinds are either too drying or to heavy.

For those of you too young to remember, it was a detergent that was in solid form. You got a box of solid "tablets"--shaped kind of like bars and about the same size. I liked them because if you went to the laundromat you could just take how ever many tablets you needed, rather than lug a big bottle or box or pay a fortune for the little boxes they sell at the mat. And no worry about spilling anything, which was good if you were a klutz like I can be. So I'd even like having them now that I do laundry at home. Plus it cleaned great.

It was made exclusively for K-Mart, and believe it or not, it was the best damn flavored coffee I've ever had. Sadly, when K-Mart filed Chapter 11, Nescafe discontinued their product line. My wife called Nestle to complain that it was missing (that's how we found out it was an exclusive that was discontinued.)

I loved Phisohex! Wasn't it great for acne? Then they took it off the market because it supposedly had something in it that could do I forgot what. Cause cancer maybe? I don't remember. But the Phisoderm that replaced it sucked.

I also remember something else. The Nuetrogena shampoo in a bar form. Another bar product I liked. If you went to the public pool (I grew up in NYC) or beach it was nice and portable and no worry of spilling it.

Fantastic cereal with an unfortunate name. Supposedly used actual buckwheat, it was in the form of a wheat flake (kinda like Total or Frosted Flakes), but instead of frosting it had a sweet maple coating. Really delicious.

Another one I've seen only once, way back in 1988. Bubba-Yum bubblegum flavoured soda.

Surprisingly good. It wasn't cloyingly thick and sweet, as you'd imagine. Light, clean, crisp, with that neat old fashioned bubble gum flavour. Not something I'd drink two litres of, but a nice change up in the sodas in the fridge.

I am a vegetarian and all of the scramblers had either bacon or ham. But the egg and cheese scramblers were delicous, and now Pillsbury has stopped making it. I mean, that pisses me off because not everyone eats mean.

Available just about everywhere else in the world, but not here (at least not legally)since 1962, due to that stupid, outdated, ineffective embargo which, in the long run, just works in Castro's favor.

It's the only thing that worked for me and it was wonderful. My Dr. said it was a shame they did what they did to it as the actual percentage of people who had problems with it was miniscule compared to the number of deaths/problems with things like Tylenol and Aspirin.

If anyone knows if they still make these, let me know. They've disappeared from every grocery store, including Woodman's (for those of you familiar with it), over the past year or so. I especially liked honey mustard stuffing bake and the cheesy chicken. The Campbell's Soup Supper Bakes and those all in one meals with the canned meat are inferior. I know, I could buy stove top stuffing, some extra spices, and honey mustard sauce along with the chicken that I had to buy anyway and make my own. It was really good stuff though and very convient.

Although, we have a couple of items that we've had for over a year. Part of the problem is that often my husband will go shopping without me and buy food. For some strange reason (He claims that the kitchen is too small for him at our place we have rented for the past 3 years), he very rarely cooks. There are some items that he buys that although I could stand to make them, I don't really want to cook them either. Donating them to a food pantry is always an option but it would be cool if there was some kind of non perishable swapping event. I'll trade you some Stove Top Supper Bakes for some Hamburger Helper.

Apparently there are a few bottles floating around for a hefty price, but they stopped making it.

oh well, cane cola is close enough. You people who have never had soda made with cane sugar and just few other natural ingredients don't know what you are missing or what kind of poison you are drinking now.

because I believe in the legalization of all drugs, but the times I tried ephedra products, I felt like absolute shit, worse than any drug. I've done a lot of cocaine (don't anymore) and never had side effect problems really. I can't say that about ephedra...oddly enough, I know other "drug" users who feel the same way about that shit.

Anyone else remember this stuff? I only had three or four cans, but really liked the taste. It never even hit my hometown; I was visiting Austin for the summer ('95 I believe) and originally tried it from the hotel drink machines. I was surprised to never see it again, but after reading up on it later I discovered that Coke test-marketed it in a few cities but threw in the towel after it didn't get a great response. Apparently, it was supposed to be the "Gen X" soda or something along those lines, but that wasn't particularly apparent from its packaging; I just liked the weirdness of it.

I drank it nonstop all through the summer of 96 (or was it 95?) Then it just suddenly disappeared.I drank that Surge stuff for a while too(the stuff that looked like antifreeze or something) but they quit making that too.

may have some of the candies etc. you all are mentioning. They even have Tangee lipstick, which for you young types was THE 1st lipstick for young girls to start out on. Orange in the tube but turned pink on the lips. And has a wonderful smell. They even have Lifebouy soap. stuff like that.

Only on the market about two years---disappeared (from here at least) within the past year.

Also lemon ice or lemon sherbet.

Third thing--I _really_ miss Replique perfume and cologne. It's a French product, I think, but used to be available in the U.S. with a little searching. Haven't seen it at all for quite a while. IMO, it's the most heavenly scent I've ever worn.

I could live on Buitoni Instant Pizzas but alas the current Buitoni company says they never sold such a product. Must've been a different Buitoni.

Fizzies were what we were allowed to drink as kids instead of soda. They were like flavored Alka-Seltzers without the medicine and sweetened with cyclamates. We used to pop them onto our tongues, instead of dissolving them in water, to effervesce our saliva. Best flavors were orange and root beer.
